@dc42 I watch a lot of videos about electronics engineering and the stuff people are doing these days is pretty cool given the high level interfaces are available right at the hardware now.
I'm curious, my impression of the product line is that it's meant to be very stable, prioritizing it above everything else.
Do you think it would be beneficial to open up more of the toolset to people who want to develop, debug, etc. at a more causal commitment level? Just one example is to document how to build a test rig? Maybe that's too complicated, so the next best thing would be to figure out how to make it less complicated and start from there? I don't really know the subject material that well, so my suggestions could be way off, but I think you get the gist.
One of the great things about open source is the amount of human-power you can get for effectively free if you make it easy enough for people to contribute.
For myself,
I wanted to try to write unit tests for algorithms, but I couldn't find a way to "run" the code. I didn't know if there were any entry points already there to make it possible to write unit tests; aside from starting from scratch with some OTS unit testing framework and start figuring out how to mock, exec, etc. Any pointers?
